Primanti Bros. Restaurant and Bar

Primanti Bros is a classic sandwich shop serving up some seriously big and seriously tasty sandwiches! They also offer, wings, tots, fries, chili, pickles and more! Their atmosphere seems to keep to its roots and is pub-like with dark wood and low lighting inside but they also have outdoor seating. The service was mediocre but we absolutely loved our food. If you're in the Pittsburgh area and haven't been here yet, you should try them out! Definitely recommend.

My wife and I split the Double beef and cheddar which, you guessed it, has double the beef and cheddar with a horseradish mayo, tomatoes, fries and homemade slaw on delicate white bread. The meat was juicy and everything went well together. As you can see in the picture, there were plenty of fries and meat mounded high! The bread was soft with a delicate and flakey crumb and compressed easily when you grab it but made it easy to eat and didn't fall apart until the very end. There was plenty of tasty sauce and the sandwich wasn't dry at all. The slaw was homemade and vinegar based and complemented the sandwich perfectly.

We also got the BLT tots and the Hot Chili. The chili was heat hot but not very spicy hot, if that's what they were going for. I hot to add hot sauce to it to make it more spicy. It was your classic chili with red beans, beef, onions and tomatoes. Not sure if it was normal but I had a piece of meat the size of a meatball in mine. You can tell this chili is made in house also. The BLT tots were a nice spin on flavored tots. They came with nacho cheese sauce, minced bacon, shredded lettuce and diced tomatoes. They were also good.

The only gripe I would have is that the server didn't really seem like she wanted to be there. When I go to sit-down restaurants I like to be asked if I've been there before and being told what their all about. Otherwise its just typical service I get anywhere and it's not an experience more than it is just another restaurant. If she had more energy and put more than just the minimum effort into her job she probably would have made this a 5 star place. Her and the host as well 🙄 but the food was good and different and the atmosphere was cool so overall I give this place 4 stars.
